actually noticed that it does not show greeks for SPX, NDX, where i need it. Does anyone know why greeks are little off in IB option trader? compared to other platforms which are consistent. l am not subscribed to real time data however was informed the option chains are real time

thanks

l thought optionseducation.org would have but they are delayed. l want to see particularly delta for strikes thanks

thanks for the tip, I got rid of the open close fields, mostly to free up RAM also don't even look at them, high and low do give an indication where market has been so gives me idea without looking at a chart, have delta already, i think ivr would be much more useful than iv, bid and ask volume...

l had contacted IB about their poor data provided by risk navigator. l am particularly interested in the SPX Delta column to know how my portfolio delta and individual holdings correlate to the SPX or the market. however this important data is almost always inaccurate, as it does not show the...

Limit order was used. would expect a better execution from IB no? commissions I got made it worse.

tommcginnis, what is it you use in TWS that allows you the flexibility or the things I require in have same combo just with different strikes or expirations, done with a click?

is Strategy Builder in TWS option trader? because that is what l use to trade options. so are you saying you can have the same model, eg a broken wing with a specific expiry and strikes, and set up another broken wing, just by adjusting the expiries and strikes to compare or analyse, etc?

you mean the "pair or leg by leg" tab in combo selection window of option trader? l use that everytime. works fine for setting up a combo, but if you want to set up a similar combo, but with different dates or strikes, you have to set it all up again :( you should be able to keep the same model...
